The aim of this case study was to analyze student perception of the attributed importance and perceived mastery of the knowledge and competencies of the sports coach, in a Sport Sciences course in Brazil. The questionnaire by Quinaud et al. (2018) was administered to 192 students from the first to the fifth year of the program. Descriptive statistics were used and, after verifying the non-normal distribution, the Kruskal-Wallis test was carried out to compare the attributed importance and perceived mastery within the groups. In cases with significant differences, the Mann-Whitney U test, Dun-Bonferroni correction (p≤0.05) and effect size by partial Eta² (Cohen, 1973) were used. The results showed no significant differences in terms of the importance attributed to knowledge, and differences were observed in two competencies. In terms of perceived mastery, differences were found regarding all knowledge and competencies, especially among students in the first years with respect to those in the 3rd, 4th and 5th years. The different experiences throughout the course seem to help in the development of the students' knowledge and competencies. Considering that in Brazil a university degree is required to work as a coach, it is important that Physical Education and Sport courses focus on the development of specific knowledge and competencies specific to this profession.
